Did you see #47 upthread?
I found that recent February article where Schiavo’s brother defends Jeb Bush against “smears” of the Right to Die group that he believes are behind resurrecting these accusations. I sent it to EV who prefers to remain un-impressed.
I am not *for* Jeb Bush, but I’m also not *for* losing a grip on reality by insisting on facts that don’t bear out or stand the test. I mean, who dares argue with the brother of Terri Schiavo, who suffered through that tragedy and was shown no mercy either. I still think her case landed in the US House of Representatives and that was the real end of the hunt.
I pinged Jim and *onyx because this accusation against Jeb may get thrown around a lot over the course of this campaign, as if it were Gospel, and I am going to be seen referring to these articles that give the other side. Schiavo’s brother should probably be given a hearing on FR, don’t you think?
If no one wants to read them, well that’s okay too.
We'll read what you post. But this "who dares to argue with..."attitude? I don't know what is going on in the brother's heart and mind. In the difficult situation the family went through, denial is often a part of the healing process.
For me, I remember when the whole thing was coming down. I don't understand why Jeb didn't defy any rulings, go in, and bring Terri to safety. Anyone who doesn't have the guts to take that kind of risk isn't going to change the world.
Besides that, Jeb is wrong on just about every issue, at least for any candidate for whom I would support.
So, yeah, post your stuff. But I'll "dare" to argue with it if I disagree!
